bg Elder y. NJ. hA<ore Who took for bis
Iext Isaisn % "Cesse ye frOm man,
whose breath IS IN his noslriis, for wherein
i hs 10 De accounted for" We believe this
entire chsDter - q prophecy OF our own
timeN-Of the last DAYS, and the text isa con-
clusion that IS reached. That this Is
prophecy of the last days Is con-
elusive from the fact that the second
verse SAYS 20. And u e Stes
~ me actions snd movements OI men and
nations. The second verse says that IA the
last days 'the monntain OIL the Lords
house shall Be established IN the top Of the
mouutainsn In Jer. 5l.24 We learn that
Babylon is declared 10 be a mountain. and
mountain. Thus - established the fact
that by mountains is sigulEed govern

proceeded 10 establish the doctrine that
Isaiah % is prophecy OF the lncorpOra-
ton into our oTn government Of religious
feature. La the third verse Is brought out
the action and words of the people in the
days when this prophecy Is being fulfilled.
They are saying Come. and let Us 20 up to
81. N a.
explained as signuying the general peace
and safety cry that is now being
heard throughout the land. The great
extent 10 which the temporal millennium
IS being preached - but a fulhllment OF this
passage All the world Is saying that the
world is to be converted. In Micah We
have this prophecy repeated in very nearly
the same language. Notice that in both
these prophecies the statement IS that many
people shall say thus and so. Do not make
the mistake OF concluding that the words
of these prophecies are the words of the
Lord, they are prophecies OF what the peo-
pie say. Bat vnat is the Lord to say at the
same times. In Joel SO We read what the
Lord will say: Proclaim ye this among
the Gentiles, prepare war. wake up the
mighty men, let all the men OF war draw
near, let them come up; beat your plough
shares into swords and your pruning hooks
into spears" This is what the Lord prophe-
sizes shall take place. The former prophe-
cies simply tell what the people shall be
saying ct the same time that the Lords
prophecies were Preparations.
We see both these prophecies most signally
fulfilled. People are proclslming peace
and safety, that the temporal millennium
IS soon TO come, and yet we see the most
gigantic preparations for war that the
world ever saw. Never in the history of
| the world were seen such terribly destruc-
tive war implements as are now seen. The
/ speaker here read some statistics relative 20
/ the war preparations of European nations.
| Referring the condition o. the popular reii-
| zious denominations of the world, the
| speaker mentioned the low standard that
/ exists among them; they have lowered the
/ standard 10 that extcnt that there is little
or no cross ia becoming church members.
